ASTM construction standards are used around the world as they
are referenced in the International Building Code. Patrick McCullen,
of the International Conference of Building Officials Evaluation
Service, describes just some of the many testing uses of ASTM

of Subcommittee A01.05 on Steel Reinforcement discusses that groups
efforts to prevent the corrosion of steel-reinforced concrete
structures through standardization. //
